Day 251 of 365 days.

Finally got my pinball shot in the set. I’m a huge pinball fan, although I don’t get to play as often these days as I did when I was younger. I don’t think I would have survived college without pinball.

Anyway, I really wanted to get a shot of me playing from the top of the machine shot down, but I couldn’t get the gorillapod angled exactly how i wanted to get a really good shot, so I ended up with this one instead.

The main reason I wanted to get this shot was because I wanted to add one of my favorite short stories I’ve ever written to my website. And now I have. If you get a chance, please read ONE. It’s a coming of age story about pinball. I should really write more fiction.

    I love arcade games. When I’m rich, I’ll have my own arcade room full of pinball and video games and air hockey. :oD

    Seen in your 365 days set. (?)

    @Sick Little Monkey: I have one stand up arcade machine in my basemenet, but I almost never use it. One day I will have the money to have a pinball machine again.

    @MegaBee: I assure you that you don’t miss it as much as I do.

    @SU365: It just takes practice. You play every day for a few years, you’ll be great!

    Ya know, I’m not sure if I have ever played pinball before. That seems so odd to me now that I think about it.

    Love the shot…..especially the pinball stance!
